OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by shanfla2002 on February 10, 2010 at 12:52pm
That must be crazy to be in the same city as him and not be able to see him!!! I was born and raised in the south...north scares me!!! Any suggestions for what my husband and I can do Saturday? I wanted to do a Chicago tour...but with this snow....I dont know what to do!
Comment by Erica on February 10, 2010 at 1:34pm
It has been hard not seeing him especially so close. We did get a lot of snow but all the streets should be cleared up by Saturday. I would defiantly do navy pier, ton of museums, must have Chicago deepdish pizza, if your into views sears tower or have lunch at the John hancock... They have awesome views while eating lunch. Chinatown is cool to visit. Chicago is an awesome city but during winter it's kinda hard to explore the city espcially with the cold. Since were from Chicago he can go home and visit with friends and family...I just want to have lunch with him and see a movie.
